First time I'd replaced control arms so 2nd side went in more quickly than 1st. After I stripped a ball joint bolt (torque spec in 1A video much too high for my car) I ordered and replaced both ball joints too. Since an alignment is required after this work I recommend after replacing bj's and ca's at same time. Shop that did alignment said everything looked ok.
The local auto parts stores don't carry many Volkswagen parts. They refer me to the Volkswagen dealership most of the time. You guys have the parts they don't, sell them at a reasonable price, and get them to me fast.ive never been disappointed.
I was delighted to have the parts I needed at a great price. I'm on my 5th purchase from 1Aauto. You can't go wrong.
The part fits perfectly in my 2004 Jetta. The video provided was good to help with the installation on the passenger side. However, the driver side was troublesome because of the automatic transmission pan. The front most bolt is blocked by the pan and you cannot get it out without either removing the pan or unbolting the rear engine mount and tilting the engine forward 3 inches or so. Luckily I was replacing my rear engine mount at the same time so I was able to tilt the engine instead of having to remove the transmission pan and replace transmission fluid.
The control arms and tie rod ends for my 2003 VW Jetta were a perfect fit. Doing it myself saved me over $600 in labor and could not of been possible without the awesome you tube videos produced by 1aauto. This company rocks and truly empowers people to DIY.
Awesome product and how to do video was very helpful!
